Gleaning and Gathering

I love meaningful conversations, and this is probably what it would sound like if we had a chance to have that chat in my home office. It is my effort to process what I"m thinking out loud (and sometimes with friends.) I am a Christian, husband, father, pastor, church planter, community developer, author, and social entrepreneur. I am a mortal on a journey through this beautiful, delightful world God has given us, and I live in wide-eyed, child-like wonder. The name? I"m always gleaning life

I enjoyed catching up with my friend and coworker, Keith Schaper this past week for a conversation about life, transition, and his work now in the area of donor relations at Evangelistic Faith Missions. I am thankful for the training that I received from my friend, Zach Clark at Leadership and Development Coaching. While many leaders feel called to lead, they don't fully understand that part of leading is stewarding the relationships with the people who are giving to make that work possible

Taking Their Place at the Table: Helping Relationally...

Gleaning and Gathering ·

2023/03/11

A discussion about the church's role in charity and helping people to help themselves. How can we help in a way that is truly helpful? How do we help without undermining personal responsibility? How far should we go? How do we keep the safety net from becoming a hammock? How do we preserve the relationship while having hard conversations? As with most things, there are no easy answers, but these are some thoughts for churches and individuals interested in moving beyond the "benevolence fund"

Gleaning and Gathering ·

2023/03/03

What does it mean for us to be the church, and what is God calling us to as His people to be? Is it enough to just "have church," or is God calling us to more? I explore the "Ephesians Paradigm" (thank you Dr. Stephen Gibson) and my own experiences in making a case for the church being more than just a "dispenser of religious goods and services." I believe that the church is intended to be the Body of Christ - the continuing manifestation of Christ in the world, and that it is intended to reveal

Rebecca, our second daughter, turned 20 this past week. It got me to thinking about the changing seasons of parenting. My encouragement and admonition to young parents is, "Keep your eye on the ball!

Rhythms and Rule of Life: What Kind of Leader Are You...

Gleaning and Gathering ·

2023/02/08

What kind of a person are you becoming? The battle is won or lost in the day to day choices. Every choice is a vote for who you want to become. A "rule of life" has been a helpful tool for Christians throughout the ages in becoming more disciplined and Christ-like. In this episode, I share some of my daily rhythm and "rule of life." Being rather than just doing is also a theme. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eric-himelick/support

George Muller wrote in his autobiography, "The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is... to make my soul happy in the Lord." Duty is not enough; we must find DELIGHT in Him.

I believe that Christian hospitality is one of the greatest underutilized tools for evangelism and discipleship. It can also be incredibly challenging. Here are a few stories, thoughts and reflections from my life. While I have a lot to learn, our lives have been greatly enriched by "making room" for others along our journey. Developing Victory Acres Farm as a place of hospitality and healing over the past 17 years has been a passion. We have housed over 50 long term guests, hosted over 70

We recorded in the midst of a busy Himelick house (so you'll hear that.) It's a bit cut up because we restarted the conversation multiple times, but it's real and it's here.

Developing "Dollar General" Pastors

2022/12/06

Local pastoral leadership is missing from so many places today, and there are a lot of reasons for that. These are some thoughts on church planting and developing local, Biblical leadership who will shepherd God's people. I believe that God has many different expressions of the Body of Christ. While there is a place for the "Walmart" church, many contexts just need a "Dollar General" church. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eric-himelick/support
